"Excellent Job!

and his team were very thorough. Plus they were very friendly and courteous. They took extra time to cover everything, including" ...More a special oil painting above the fireplace, so it wouldn't be damaged. They left everything clean - both inside the fireplace and in the surrounding areas.

explained the needed repairs in detail and the price seemed reasonable. He sent a very detailed report and followed up to make sure we were happy. Because it was summertime, and we aren't using our fireplace at the moment here in California, we decided to wait on the repairs. But when we're ready to move forward, we will definitely call

& Stone. They know what good customer service is all about. Thank you

and his team!

"

was professional and responsive. He is a perfectionist so it went very well with the very detailed work that needed to be completed with" ...More our re-do of our fireplace. We needed the fireplace redone with limestone in very small rectangular pieces. There were a few challenges and

handled it with his expertise. The old fireplace was uneven and so was the limestone that he had to work with--and he was able to build us a perfect fireplace despite that. He also noticed that the big pieces of limestone that were sold to us by the Tile store did not match the smaller pieces and called the store and spoke to them--so we were able to get better matching pieces.

arrived on time and worked three days straight--to get this job done quickly. He covered all of our furniture, floors and built a plastic wall from ceiling to floor to protect the tile dust from getting in our home. The result was a beautiful fireplace.

Most people enjoy sitting in front of a fire on a cold day, but traditional, wood-burning fireplaces come with a few disadvantages. They tend to waste energy, require maintenance and pose some risk. Read this guide to discover several alternatives that provide the same ambiance, but with fewer downsides.

Dear Angie: How much can I expect to pay to have my wood fireplace converted to gas? Our house is about 30 years old. The bottom of the fireplace looks like it's easily accessed through the basement. The conversion would involve running 30 to 50 feet of gas line. — Thomas M., Cincinnati, Ohio

He hasn't legally abandoned the job as long as he is still showing up and doing something, even if it is very little, from time to time. You'll have to fire him first. Have documentation that the job is not being done in a timely manner, showing when he has and has not worked. Be ready for a fight and probably a legal battle since he will likely still want more money or won't refund money paid for incomplete work.

Change the locks and inform the contractor their services on your property are terminated. Tell him if anyone representing his company enters your property they will be considered trespassing and will be prosecuted. Then hire another company to check the work he has done to make sure it is right. Somehow I doubt it is given the nature of his work ethic. Then have the new contractor repair any bad workmanship and finish the job. Keep records as any documented things that have to be redone will help your case against the first contractor.

I would recommend finding a good hearth retailer in your area and work with them to select a stove that is right for your home. They should also be able to arrange for certified installer to handle the installation. Keep in mind many areas require a city or county permit for the installation, and it may be wise to have the chimney and fireplace inspected by a certified chimney sweep beforehand.

“

came over to give an estimate on installing a new zero-clearance wood fireplace. The install would require no masonry and would be done on a raised foundation with a single story. Right away he quotes me, '$20,000'. I explained that I received two other estimates from $5000-$7000. He said he'd think it through ...More it and return with a written estimate and within minutes left without saying anything. Needless to say,

never followed up with an estimate. He didn't come across very friendly either. I am surprised at the positive remarks. He seemed dishonest and unprofessional. See his BBB rating.”

They are first rate professionals. They arrived on time and explained the work they had to do and why it needed to be done. They were neat and organized. They told me the job would take three days and they finished early. They stayed to answer all my questions and wanted to ensure that I understood everything they did. They told me what to do for ...More future maintenance and and how to keep the fireplace problem free. They finished up their work late on the second day after it was dark. I noticed some mortar stains that were left behind. I called the office and told them and they were on the issue immediately.

himself came back to fix the stains later that week. I plan to use them for some other property that I have early this year. Highly, highly recommended!”
